Configurable Phone

A Configurable product offers the customers a variety of options, which are selected from drop-down lists. For example, a tee shirt that comes in three colors and three sizes would have two drop-down lists of options for Color and Size.

Configurable Products let your customers select the variant they desire by choosing options. For example, you sell t-shirts in two colors and three sizes. You’d create the six variants as individual products (with their own skus) and then add these six to a configurable product from where customers can choose size and color, then add to cart. If desired you could also have customers search for “red medium t-shirt” and land on the specific page for this variant.

Complex products in Magento are a way to consolidate product variants onto a single product info page in the front-end. The variants themselves are actually simple products and have their own SKUs and stock management. This is very powerful - it allows you to let customers search for the individual variants, but browse only to the consolidated product pages.
